Welcome!

Penguin Day 2004 was a great success! Check out the recently posted session materials and a F/OSS Landscape Map that was created by participants at the event.

In addition, check out pictures of the event taken by Danielle Hickie!

The first-ever Penguin Day brought together over 100 free and open source software (F/OSS) developers and non-profit technologists for a day of learning and conversation.

Penguin Day convened stakeholders in the development and adoption of F/OSS for non-profits to frankly address the range of challenges in scaling capacity, as well as to celebrate strengths and successes of open source in the nonprofit sector.

Penguin Day 2004 worked to:

• build new and enhanced relationships between key constituencies in the open source and nonprofit communities;
• be a venue for learning and information sharing about development processes and nonprofit software needs;
• help participants develop a clearer understanding of where there are gaps and opportunities;
• challenge developers to provide flexible and appropriate open source solutions for non-profit mission-critical applications;
• empower non-profit users and support providers to better communicate their needs and serve as active partners in the development and maturation of open source technology for nonprofits;
• result in increased energy and passion to fuel ongoing collaboration.

We look forward to hosting more Penguin Days!

Penguin Day was developed in close collaboration and partnership with the following organizations: Aspiration, the Nonprofit Open Source Initiative (NOSI), the LINC Project of the Welfare Law Center, and the Advocacy Project.

Penguin Day is supported by a grant from the IBM International Foundation and other donors.

We thank the United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania and Teaming for Technology for providing the conference space.
